Could my guy friend possibly be interested in me?

I've known this guy for years. We went to highschool together, and then I moved away to go to uni and he stayed behind in our old town. We've never been extremely close friends, but we always make an effort to stay in touch even though we live a large distance apart. H

He always makes a big effort to catch up when I am in town. He is normally always the one to initiate the catch ups. In a few months I am moving back to our old town, however he is moving a few hours away for a new job. We were texting the other day, our conversation went like this:

Me: Congratulations on the new job!Him: Thank you so much! By the way, let me know when you are home so we can meet up!Me: Sounds good. So your new job will mean you have to move a few hours away?Him: Yes, but I will still be in (name of old town where I am moving to) all the time!

Is it possible he could have feelings for me? I know he's really shy when it comes to girls, but he's a very friendly person to everyone in general.
